Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service

port 80. This router’s default remote management Web port number is 80. For greater
security, you can change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering
that number in this box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65534, but do not use
the number of any common service port.

¾

Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing

your router from the Internet. The default IP Address is 0.0.0.0. It means this function is
disabled. To enable this function, change the default IP Address to another IP Address as
desired.

To access the router, you will type your router's WAN IP Address into your browser's Address (in
IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port number. For example,
if your Router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8 and you use port number 8080, enter in your
browser:

http://202.96.12.8:8080

. You will be asked for the router's password. After successfully

entering the password, you will be able to access the router's Web-based utility.

Note:

Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password.
